The Deadly Stalking of Alice Ruggles

Alice Ruggles lived in Gateshead, England, and had broken up with boyfriend Harry Dhillon. Harry Dhillon did not take the break up well. Texts, emails, voicemails graduated to hacking and stalking her at home. This then led to an ultimately horrific and tragic ending.

Will never forget my mothers words when I was young and naive. When a man abuses you and come back to apologies with tears running down his face that you have to forgive and forget, because he loves you and cannot live without you...as soon as you see tears, run as hard as you can. He wasn't crying when he was hitting you so don't believe his tears when you are leaving him. He is just crying because there is no one to control when you leaves him. Thanks for the another heartfelt story Mike.

[@kvdrr]

So, she basically told you to be unforgiving because... tears? odds are they haven't changed and would still be abusive, of course, but why tears of all things?

[@judithbradford9130]

Also, they stick flowers and chocolate out like magic charms to make you submit, whether you like those things or not, because GOOD guys bring FLOWERS and Chocolates! Even while they are violating your privacy and coercing you, demanding interaction entirely without your consent, they think this PROVES they are 'sorry' and 'will be good'... and so you have to do what they want It shows a complete misunderstanding of what BEING A GOOD (person, friend, man, whatever) actually means-- trying to compel you against your will by performance of these culturally coded 'romantic' behaviors, and then, if you don't respond as their script dictates, they get angry and call you names. And the *worst* is when you get a cop who SNEERS and says so what's YOUR problem, you're complaining about CHOCOLATES? with obvious identification with the 'poor guy' who is supposedly 'trying so hard' to win you back, so what kind of cold mean b*ch are you? Cops in the States, statistically, are the most likely to be domestic abusers and very often view any amount of coercive behavior to MAKE a woman 'belong' to you as perfectly justified, even admirable proof of how MUCH he 'loves' you. (Gah, my own mother told me once that a boyfriend being extremely jealous was a compliment; her psychosocial orientation vis-a-vis gender and love was extremely unhealthy.)

I think we all need to recognize that in most relationships like this, the stalker has begun stalking long before the breakup. So that by the time the breakup happens, they have already hacked into the partner’s social media, following them to and from work and school, isolated them from family/friends, etc. The fix is already in.

[@RevolutionAndPeace]

That's worrying and I have no doubt you are right

[@pennylane3324]

I agree. I was in a similar relationship (well if you call it that), the stalking started in the relationship with his control over my social life and finances, the mind games and manipulation of my family. The only way I could get away from him was to move states.

[@Ajae78]

This is absolutely correct. Unfortunately this kind of controlling behavior during the relationship will be normalized by the abuser to the victim. “I trust you, it’s just I’ve been hurt before.” or “If you have nothing to hide, why do you care if I look at your emails or go through your stuff?”.

[@arynasabalenka3173]

We also need to punish wight men and women who date outside of their rase. It's disgraceful.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

@@pennylane3324 Absolutely it starts pretty quickly in the relationship and the stalker slowly modifies the victims behaviour and isolates them from friends and family. The only reason I got out of my situation was that, after beating me up and locking me in for five days, he couldnt get the drugs he needed because he had been cut off for beating me up. He eventually told me that I had to go and score for him and when I got out I phoned the guy I was supposed to see and his girlfriend (The real reason he had been cut off) answered and she came and picked me up and took me to my folks house. I will be forever grateful to that girl, Mandy, I believe her name was, as I truly believed I wouldnt get out of that alive. If she hadnt told her boyfriend to cut him off, I dont think I would have got out. Not everyone in the drug world are bad people, some are really good people who have just got into bad situations. I think they should name and shame these people as well as putting them on a register because it seems to me these situations nearly always end badly. Like my abuser went on to do the same abroad and ended up dead. But, it could have just as easily been his victim who died at his hands.

[@kitkat031]

I was kidnapped by a guy when I was in college, 18, on a first date. I finally convinced him to take me home so I could grab medicine. This was a lie that I believe saved my life. I told the college and ironically the police station for the town was in the building of the school. They took a report. Told me there wasn't much else they could do. The school took him out of the one class we had together. He sat outside my home all day everyday for weeks. Then he went away. I was terrified and felt alone. 2 years later at a concert he was 2 rows behind me. I had a panic attack and left. I've never seen him since it's been 10 yrs. We need the police to take us more seriously. We need better protection. We need someone to care. Bless this poor girl and her family. Thanks for shedding light on this one Mike. Love ya! ❤️

[@itiswhatitis3198]

I was also in college, maybe 21 or 22 at the time, when I had to partner up with a classmate on a graded project. I invited him to my apartment because he had loud family over. He brought a 12 pack of pepsi and a jug of whiskey. He drank at least a pint of whiskey with two pepsi's within an hour, and started professing his undying love. We had only started talking as classmates that week. I asked him to leave, and that I wasn't interested, but he wouldn't. I then switched it up by saying something like, "tell me about how you know so soon that we are meant to be together?" When he started rambling, I interrupted him and said I had to take my elderly dog out for a walk, and slipped my cell in my back pocket. From the grass outside, where the whole building could hear me, I yelled at him to get out of my apartment before I called the cops. He left. I told the professor and the counselors at the school and they removed him from the class and threatened him with expulsion if he spoke to me again. It wasn't a kidnapping exactly, but I was definitely taken hostage for what felt like an eternity. Thankfully he got himself wasted pretty quickly and I knew I could pretend like everything was still cool long enough for me to get outside with my dog. When I was 19 or 20 I had another similar situation with another science project and another guy who used the study time to try to talk me into sleeping with him. I shut him down really quickly and threatened to tell the professor if it happened again and he backed off. I should have turned him in, but didn't. I was pretty naive at the time and didn't realize how fucked up that was. I was prepared the next time with the next person. I'm glad you got away and I'm sorry you were traumatized again seeing him at the concert later. You are not alone, and you are applauded for your bravery.

You're a hero and thanks for being an amazing officer who cares 👏. Stalking and domestic violence aren't taken seriously enough!!!! It's serious and leads to so much violence & murder. Laws need to be overhauled because they're a joke.

[@armurph1102]

These laws are not all the same on a national level. Each state has their own laws regarding domestic violence and/or stalking laws. Some states are harsher than others and some states still do next to nothing for victims, like only giving a misdemeanor for physically violent domestic violence which results in giving the victim an order of protective which only orders that the perpetrator stay 1000 ft away from the victim and the victim receive paperwork about it. That is it. Anytime the protection order is violated the victim has to call the police, who only do anything if the perp is caught red handed, if the perp is no longer there when they arrive the only thing they will do is question the perp about the call from the victim. Because of this, many victims of domestic violence don’t even bother reporting any of their attacks to the authorities and are almost always criticized by EVERYONE for it

[@charliemike13]

Where are you? I’m a medically retired cop and that’s not necessarily true-has there been any threatening communication and electronic evidence you can save? A judge may see that differently than what you’ve been told so far.

[@SmegInThePants]

In my state someone can get an automatic temporary restraining order as part of a proceeding. No need to prove anything, just automatically issued when asked for, for either party. So like if you sued the guy for civil harassment, you could then get a restraining order issued automatically. Its temporary, but can last up to a year. And then you can get another one. In my state that is. So there might be other ways to get one. Might be worth talking to a lawyer, cops don't go to law school so don't know as much as a lawyer does about what all your options might be, and what knowledge cops do have tend to be hyper focused on criminal law so civil law options are something they are often not even aware of. Something I've recommended to women in this situation that sometimes has helped is to do the following. Get a photo of the stalker. Make some copies. Go around to your neighbors, like all the people on your block, or in your building if its an apartment situation, and introduce yourself, explain your situation, and give them a copy of the photo, and explain that this person has no legit reason to be anywhere on your block and that if they see him then he is up to no good and they should immediately call the police. Even if the police won't arrest him, the mere fact they show up every time he tries to linger, and all the dirty looks from neighbors who recognize him, might reduce his bravery. Not foolproof, and not absolute protection, and limited to the area you live, won't help you at the grocery store or whatever, but every little layer of protection can help and they can add up and its especially nice if you can make your home feel a little more safe. And side benefit, you can meet more of your neighbors and get some community feel going on your block. There might also already be a neighborhood watch, some neighborhoods set those up and work w/police, so if so, contacting them would be great, some neighborhood watches even have patrols. Give them copies of those photos. If there isn't, consider setting one up yourself, police will often help w/setting up and supporting a neighborhood watch too even providing resources. Depending on where you live of course. Another thing is to have friends check up on you, let htem know if you don't answer w/in X amount of time u want them to call police to do a welfare check on you. Another thing is to look in to women's shelters in your area. So like if you're just feeling like he's around and don't feel safe at home, you'll already know about this place you can retreat to to spend the night at, you'll already know where it is, how to get there, what times their doors are open, etc.... Won't having to be looking up this info in a panic during a situation because you'll already have looked it all up in advance.

Only a prior restraining order and previous victim, all the messages and voice mails, the fact he was repeatedly told to stop contacting her but continued, leaving chocolates and flowers, disturbing messages about murder, threats of revenge porn, everyone who witnessed his behaviour, his commanding officer...the list goes on. UK police do not need victims of domestic violence to choose to press charges, asking her permission goes against guidelines. As to "You want police running around arresting every EX that won't stop messaging their Ex?" YES. When an ex is harrassing someone to the point of them going to the police, is then officially warned to stop but chooses to continue, is reported again, yes...arrest them! It is criminal behaviour and they can be convicted under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. I'm not sure if you are just terribly ignorant in regard to coercive control, stalking, and domestic violence, or whether you are actually intending to defend this kind of criminal behaviour by blaming the victim.

See, they assume they have the RIGHT to own you unless you JUSTIFY your choices TO THEM, and of course, no reason of yours will ever seem sufficient to them. They will only use the opportunity to batter you with their insistence you HAVE to submit; if your reason is the cheating, they swear they won't do it again! and think voila, fixed, you can't say No now! No matter what you tell them, they will say BUT!!! and argue you're wrong, your reasons are BAD, you don't have a REAL reason, so you can't leave.

Trying to get help as a stalking victim is absolutely crazy. I've had male and female friends who were stalked, one of the incidents I was there for personally. Seeing how the police decided to handle it was like a bad joke. The stalker was literally sending threatening messages while the police where IN the house yet they did nothing to help at all. Their stellar advice was "lol just block them" despite this being a months long situation and the person going through social media accounts like you'd go through cups of water. My male friend who went through being stalked was treated much the same except they liked to sprinkle in crap about how could he be scared of his abuser because she was female and smaller than him as if that's some sort of excuse. It changed the guy and to this day he's a shell of his former self. Stalking is no joke and it definitely needs to be dealt with more severely from what I've witnessed. Maybe if it was poor Alice would still be alive today. What a complete and total waste.

I was intending to comment , "Imagine being a male trying to report a stalker and getting them to help put an end to it."

I'm not a defenseless man by any means. I also didn't want to beat the shit out of a woman or possibly wound her critically or fatally. It was that bad she had devised several plans to capture and torture me infact it all came to an end when she attempted one. Luckily I had developed a great sense of situational awareness and paranoia made me extraordinarily observant. She had a knife, was hiding and came at me from behind. I threw her to the ground and tossed the knife....called the cops. The scariest thing I had ever seen in my life was the way she changed from determined killer to helpless damsel in one instant. Crying and begging me to stop hurting her. If the cops took any longer I was in trouble of being jumped on by a group of guys that bought it lol then the cops bought it too, put me in the handcuffs and carried me away.

Then we're dealing with the fact that most people aren't going to believe you from the jump and somehow make you the bad guy. In my case I had a lunatic that could flip from bloodthirsty and dangerous to sniveling,crying,scared little girl that is helpless and being "emotionally abused". She was so manipulative that she literally had the script flipped on me. She convinced everyone that I was the dangerous stalker and she was the victim. Oh and the last tidbit is not being sure about defending yourself against a woman if she does do something crazy, especially in my sitch because she was so damn manipulative and convincing. Yeah guys get it all ...the abuse,both physically and emotionally, being stalked and followed, not taken seriously, people think we're the actual threat, and the fear of defending yourself. Then it never goes away. People always want to make a joke out of it or believing we were never in any actual danger. I would have loved to have defended myself from the get go and put the fear of death in her but that could have had so many possible outcomes, mostly bad ones. I got lucky and found a cop that could see I was tortured by her and myself because of the head games and I didn't want to hurt my son's mother, I didn't want to blow her life up...but I also couldn't have her putting he and I in continuous danger.

Yep, I had a stalker in 1999. It only lasted six months, but I couldn't go anywhere alone, and without being constantly hyper aware of my surroundings. I'm lucky as the police were actually able to help in my case, and nailed the bastard.

Listening to the police calls is so frustrating. She sounds like she was such a sweet person.

[@josuevillalvazorobles5262]

Yeahhhhhhhhh boyyyy

[@BalboaBaggins]

It's called manipulation.

[@siobhanquigley9790]

I was sharing with a friend my experience of being stalked and her boyfriend chimed in saying things like 'oh you think you're good enough to be stalked do you' 'are you really so interesting that you were stalked' etc. Was a very strange approach.

I do not use this term lightly, That is A giant Red Flag. :// Edit-- more importantly I'm sorry someone tried to minimize a traumatic experience you went through. No one deserves that.

[@Isabella-nh5dm]

Yeah... that's not a strange approach. That's a major problem waiting to happen. Don't let this person's words hurt you. He's absolutely creepy. Run far, run fast and hopefully your friend wakes up and does the same.

@@mightymeatymech Weird and senseless as it may be, let's not pretend like it's anything more than an extremely awkward attempt at trying to lighten the subject. To take that and claim that it's a "giant red flag" is more than extreme. What is the red flag signifying?

[@AutumnintheNorth]

@@Gatchu137 Seriously? It's not only dismissive, it's degrading. How is responding to "I was terrorized and made to fear for my life because of cases like Alice Ruggles," with "Yeah, but you're ugly and boring, so it doesn't count" in any way lighthearted to anyone?? Get a grip, Anime Profile Pic Dude

[@Gatchu137]

@@AutumnintheNorth Lmao, I think I remember that you're the one who wanted every man that any woman considered suspicious to be immediately put on a stalker list, and monitored by the government. But yeah, I have an anime PFP, so I guess I'm the crazy one. Did I say anything about what he said being good? No, because it wasn't. I don't know him, but I can very clearly picture someone who is uncomfortable with the subject trying to lighten the mood, and failing spectacularly. Is it a weird and cringey thing to say? Of course. However, I'm not going to act like a KZbin comment psychologist, like the person I responded to, and pretend that it's an indicator of them being dangerous. I have a pretty socially inept friend, and he's the nicest person in the world, but he's said some bizarre things to his girlfriend before, because he doesn't think before he says things. You interpreted what he said as calling her boring, or saying that her stalking doesn't count. First, I don't think there's any part where he said it doesn't count. Second, a lot of guys socialize by poking fun at each other, when they know that they won't be taken seriously. To me, it sounded like he was implying that if she was being stalked, it must be because she's interesting. But again, I don't know him, or how he sounded when he said it.

[@Smprice530]

He is definitely “a turd that won’t flush.” Good one, Mike.

[@Alexa-cr1vy]

Stalking is a serious problem. Thanks for bringing more awareness to it. Poor Alice 🥺

So is immigration from third world countries but you won't talk about that, eh?
